We were used to the same old rule. Promises of something better. Promises of the much needed changes. Promises to get rid of everything that prevented progress. Promises to support everything the promoted growth. Promises, promises, promises. Hope that these promises would come about. Sincere intentions to bring about the changes. Slow realisation that just […]
Read More Who Rules? All Things NewWhat was it, I’m doing again? What did I say I would do? I just need to check that again. Of course I can check that on my own. After all it’s what I agreed to do. It’s even more helpful to get another perspective on it. Someone who was aware of the journey and […]
Read More Within Reach: Check ThatJust checking. The people were very active. In fact they had been active for a long time. They were given the orders of what they should be doing. Indeed they were following what their parents had received. And their parents were following what their own parents had been doing in following instructions. This was something […]
Read More Within Reach: Check ThisThe purpose is set, the understanding is in place and now it’s just about doing the do. It’s easy to say and it’s not as easy to do.

You don’t have the time to consider what’s behind the gestures. It looks like they’re all very busy with the issues of life. They are certainly busy alright. But how […]
Read More Within Reach: Time to ActivateTalk shops. They do not have good reputations. For good reason. Lots of air and little substance. Much complaining which does not lead to productive change. Presentations made, glittering promises offered, whimsical memories and stimulating aspirations shared … all to be minuted and referred to another meeting. Yet talk shops remain in fashion. You’re entitled […]
Read More Within Reach: Engage with PurposeThe issues appear to pile up. The bills mount, the debts increase, the arguments multiply as do the headaches. You could do with a break.

Read More Issues and ServingShe is not the baby I held. She is not the toddler who walked with me. She is not the same. We are not in the small house that squeezed the three of us. We are not in that place that barely housed the four of us. We are not the same. It’s odd to […]
Read More Dryden Shorts: Not The SameThere are some simple truths that have a lot more going on behind them. Recently, I was reminded of that.
